 Signal Hill District Dinner Results

The Signal Hill District Dinner was a great success this year as we honored several adult leaders for their outstanding service in 2002.   The Dinner Chairpersons, Conrad Barta and Jean Frost, both put together a great program for the evening and the Dinner Committee also worked hard to make sure adult leaders were recognized for their 2002 efforts.  District Chairman Frank Moriarty announced that Signal Hill District achieved the Quality District status and had a most successful year.  Now for the most important item of the evening, the District Award of Merit.  The Signal Hill District was very proud to announce that the 2002 District Award of Merit winners were Joanne Bilas and Frankie Johnson.   Joanne and Frankie both have given tremendous service to the BSA and continue to be involved in scouting.  Congratulations Joanne and Frankie!!  A list of all the many award winners will be available at the Roundtable.

SIGNAL HILL MERIT BADGE CLINIC MARCH 1, 2003

 

Hmmmm!  So those Scouts have been working on merit badges for months now but just don't seem to have the time to finish them with that ever-needed visit with a counselor!  Well here is their chance!

Signal Hill District will be holding their annual Merit Badge Clinic on Saturday, March 1, 2003 at the Rolling Meadows Community Center, 3705 Pheasant Drive, Rolling Meadows (9:00 a.m.).  All Scouts are invited to visit with a merit badge counselor and have the work they have done approved and signed off. 

Please realize that this clinic is not the time to work on badges but rather to have the work that has been done discussed with a counselor and consequently signed off.  Scouts are reminded to bring with them whatever materials or projects were necessary in completing the requirements of a given badge.  They must also bring the properly signed merit badge card.  The current merit badge book may prove useful as well.

 If a scout would like to finish up several badges that he has worked on, that too can be accomplished at the clinic.  It is strongly suggested that Scouts arrive no later than 11:45 so that every opportunity can be given to visit with the counselors.   Our goal is to complete all interviews by 12:30 so that our volunteers can fulfill other plans they might have that same afternoon.  A concession stand will be available to all to help keep smiles on everyone's face while they wait their turn.

As in the past we have held three "Safety" seminars and will do so again this year.  Safe Swim Defense will be held 10:15 -10:45 a.m.; Safety Afloat will be held 10:45 - 11:30 a.m.; Climb on Safely will be held 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.  All will be held in the Multi-purpose room of the facility.  AND…..

All will be preceded by our NEW addition to the seminars!   YOUTH POTECTION TRAINING will be offered from 9:00 - 10:15 a.m.!!  So Adults, bring those scouts with you!  It is a win-win situation for all!

Look for a flyer at Round Table, which will list the badges we anticipate to be represented at this year's clinic.  We are looking forward to approximately 45 badges, including many Eagle required ones.

Signal Hill thanks you for participating in the past and looks forward to helping even more

Scouts at this year's clinic!  It is a great opportunity!  DON'T MISS OUT!!!!
